“Choosing Joy” supplies very practical, critically important wisdom on the often overlooked areas that end up making or breaking both caregiver and patient. Perspective, positivity, love, and daily attention go right to the bottom line of quality of life for your loved one. These aspects, unfortunately, but understandably, can and will get lost among the endless logistics of daily care short of a significant focus by the loved one. The author provides extremely useful perspective and tips for maintaining this critical focus and maximizing the limited resources of time and money.”

“My mother is a transplant recipient. I discovered that Choosing Joy crosses over to any illness, not just Alzheimer’s, in the way that one should care for another. I was in awe of the depth in which Mrs. Berger emphasized her constant focus on maintaining her husband’s dignity and respect during this caregiving process. I learned from all of her hints, suggestions and constant reminders that the more you show love the more you will receive it from your patient. Thank you, Mrs. Berger, for sharing your experience and educating us all with your helpful instructions. I truly enjoyed this book.”

“A beautifully written and truly inspiring account that provides a road map not only for how to provide meaningful and transformative care giving, but how to joyfully join in partnership with another person in a way that allows each to grow at the same time strengthening the bond you share. A deeply moving love story that articulates how to turn a devastating medical diagnosis into a period of growth and renewal for the patient, caregiver, family and friends.”
